Countryside, The Future Explores Digital Impact On The Physical World.

The Guggenheim website further explains, “Countryside, The Future is an exhibition addressing urgent environmental, political, and socioeconomic issues through the lens of architect and urbanist Rem Koolhaas and Samir Bantal, Director of AMO, the think tank of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). A unique exhibition for the Guggenheim Museum, Countryside, The Future will explore radical changes in the rural, remote, and wild territories collectively identified here as “countryside,” or the 98% of the Earth’s surface not occupied by cities, with a full rotunda installation premised on original research. The project presents investigations by AMO, Koolhaas, with students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design; the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing; Wageningen University, Netherlands; and the University of Nairobi.”

From the DJI recent press release:

…The Agras T16 is DJI’s leading spray drone for agriculture applications that makes it easy to precisely and efficiently apply fertilizers and pesticides to field crops and orchards.

Countryside, The Future, is an exhibition addressing urgent environmental, political, and socioeconomic issues through the lens of architect and urbanist Rem Koolhaas and Samir Bantal, Director of AMO, the think tank of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). The exhibition investigates radical changes in digital technology, science, economics, geopolitics, and 21st-century commerce that are transforming the countryside.”

The impact of technology advancements spreads far into the countryside, creating radical changes to help the Earth thrive long into the future,” said Adam Lisberg, North America’s Corporate Communication Director of DJI. “DJI has delivered enterprise-grade drone technology to farmers, agronomists and land stewards to help manage their lands in a more efficient and environmentally friendly way, enabling them to safely and securely deploy drone technology into their daily operations. Every day our team continues to think of ways to use our technology and improve the quality of life. We are thrilled to be a part of this unique exhibit that showcases the combination of art, science and technology.”

Countryside, The Future, is open now and will run through August 14, 2020.
